Summary

@asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: No redirect target validation in secureFetch

Severity

medium

CWE

CWE-918

Advisory details

Finding

Location: core/src/shared/secure-fetch.ts

assertSecureUrl validated only the initial request URL. The fetch() API follows redirects by default (up to 20 hops). A request to a valid https:// URL could redirect to http://internal-service/ or other unvalidated destinations.

Status

Fixed in v0.2.136 — secureFetch now defaults to redirect: 'error' which rejects any redirect. Callers can override with { redirect: 'follow' } if they trust the target.
